In
addition to the educational services provided by Head Start, family
involvement is at the core of
its success. Head Start families
can take part in the classroom as a volunteer, help with classroom
projects, and even help develop curriculum. Elected
family members
take part in our Policy Council, a board that partners with staff
members in decision-making responsibilities for the program. Families
can participate in trainings in areas such as child rearing, job
training, health and nutrition, as well as learn about other resources
in our community. |
